Title: ipfilter
Post by: babyface on July 15, 2004, 01:43:16 PM

Does anyone know how to get the kernel to do the ipfilter.dat job ?
I mean :
Instead of letting amule take more ressource let do the job by iptable for exemple.
Because I have Squid AND Shorewall running anyway as my linux box is router.

babyface,

I don't think that this is a good idea. aMule must know which IP's he is not allowed to use as sources, so that he does not waste resources. The ipfilter overhead is minimal, it's just a table in memory. If only the kernel does the job, amule will try to use these sources too, but nothing will happen because they are blocked at kernel level.

Cheers.
